Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of anode furnace feeding, and particularly relates to a rotary anode furnace feeding device. Background Art
[0002] The traditional copper-smelting rotary anode furnace is an important device for refining blister copper into anode copper. This type of furnace usually consists of a cylindrical furnace body that can rotate on a horizontal axis. A furnace door is provided on the side of the furnace body for feeding and discharging materials. During the copper-smelting process, shredded residues (i.e., unreacted blister copper) or other cold materials need to be added into the furnace for further refining.
[0003] The prior art usually uses a crane to lift a hopper and then feeds materials into the furnace through the hopper. This is a common method, but there are some problems in its use. Firstly, the furnace mouth may be damaged. When using the hopper to feed materials, the edge of the hopper may collide with the upper and lower bricks of the furnace mouth. Especially when the operation is improper or the size of the hopper is not suitable, this situation is more likely to occur. The furnace mouth bricks are usually made of refractory materials, which have certain heat resistance and wear resistance, but may still be damaged under frequent impacts, resulting in the bricks falling off or cracking. The damage of the bricks will not only affect the sealing performance of the furnace, but also lead to heat loss, thereby affecting the refining efficiency and energy consumption. Secondly, the service life of the rotary anode furnace with damaged furnace mouth bricks will also be affected. Subsequent repair or replacement of the bricks is a time-consuming and expensive task. If the bricks are severely damaged, it may even lead to furnace leakage or even more serious safety problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies in the feeding process of the above-mentioned rotary anode furnace, such as the collision between the hopper and the bricks at the furnace mouth, resulting in brick damage, affecting the refining efficiency and reducing the overall service life, the utility model provides a feeding device that is stable and reliable during hopper feeding, does not collide with the furnace mouth bricks of the rotary anode furnace, and is convenient to use.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the utility model is as follows:
[0006] A rotary anode furnace feeding device includes a rotary anode furnace, a track, and a moving trolley. A furnace mouth is provided on the side of the rotary anode furnace; the track is laid from the outside of the rotary anode towards the furnace mouth direction to the lower part of the furnace mouth; the moving trolley is movably installed on the track, and a tipping mechanism and a hopper are provided on the moving trolley; the hopper is detachably connected to the tipping mechanism, and the outlet diameter of the hopper is smaller than the furnace mouth of the rotary anode furnace.
[0007] Further, the mobile trolley includes a frame and moving wheels; a tipping mechanism is installed inside the frame, and moving wheels are installed at the bottom. The moving wheels cooperate with the track. Through the cooperation of the moving wheels and the track, the hopper filled with raw materials can be easily moved to the designated position without much manual participation, greatly improving the feeding efficiency; the mobile trolley can move to different positions on the track as needed, not limited to the feeding work of a single anode furnace, but also can serve multiple production areas, improving the overall utilization rate of the device.
[0008] Further, the tipping mechanism includes a hydraulic rod and a support plate; hinges are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the hydraulic rod and the top surface of the movable rod. The bottom of the hydraulic rod is connected to the mobile trolley through a hinge, and the top of the hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support plate through a hinge; the top of the support plate is detachably connected to the hopper, and a hinge is provided on the right side, and the hinge is also rotatably connected to the mobile trolley. When the tipping mechanism is in use, the hydraulic rod is opened. The movable rod of the hydraulic rod pushes the support plate, and the support plate rotates clockwise and rises around the hinge on the right side, lifting the hopper placed on the support plate. After the support plate rises, an inclined slope is formed. At this time, the hopper in the support plate is inclined, and the raw materials in the hopper are poured into the rotary anode furnace to complete the feeding operation. Conversely, the hopper can be recovered; the application of the hydraulic rod makes the entire feeding process simpler and easier. Only by controlling the action of the hydraulic rod can the hopper feeding and recovery operations be completed. The structure is stable and reliable. Using hinges to connect each component ensures the stability of the mechanism during operation, and at the same time facilitates maintenance and repair.
[0009] Further, a number of limiting holes are provided on the support plate; limiting blocks are provided at the bottom of the hopper and are detachably installed in the limiting holes. The support plate realizes detachable connection through the cooperation of the bottom limiting blocks and the limiting holes, and the connection is stable and reliable, which is convenient for use.
[0010] The usage method of the present utility model:
[0011] When the rotary anode furnace is in normal production, the shredded spent electrodes or cold copper are loaded into the hopper. Then, use a crane to lift the hopper onto the tipping mechanism of the feeding trolley to connect the trolley and the tipping mechanism. Then move the trolley to reach below the furnace mouth of the rotary anode furnace. Then control the tipping mechanism to open, lift the hopper, and the raw materials in the hopper slide into the rotary anode furnace along the hopper. Then control the hopper mechanism to close, and the hopper returns to its original position. Then the trolley can move the hopper to other places along the track.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. The utility model uses a hopper in cooperation with a tipping mechanism, which can drive the hopper to the furnace mouth for feeding during feeding, ensuring that the hopper will not collide with the furnace mouth bricks during the feeding process, thus avoiding damage to the bricks, extending the service life of the rotary anode furnace. At the same time, since the production interruption problem caused by brick damage is eliminated, the continuity of production can be effectively guaranteed, and the working efficiency of the entire refining process is improved; the outlet diameter of the hopper is smaller than the size of the furnace mouth, ensuring that the raw materials can be smoothly poured into the furnace and simplifying the feeding steps; the hopper and the tipping mechanism adopt a detachable design, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement. At the same time, the mobile trolley can move freely on the track, facilitating material transportation and equipment adjustment.
[0014] 2. The mobile trolley of the utility model cooperates with the tipping mechanism, which can complete the feeding work quickly and efficiently, reducing the time and labor intensity of manual handling; through the cooperation of the mobile trolley and the track, the hopper loaded with raw materials can be easily moved to the designated position, reducing the demand for manpower. At the same time, the mobile trolley can move to different positions on the track according to needs, not only limited to the feeding work of a single anode furnace, but also can serve multiple production areas, improving the versatility and overall utilization rate of the device; the connection between the support plate and the hopper adopts a detachable connection method, which is convenient for replacing the hopper or cleaning and maintaining it.

[0021] When the rotary anode furnace 1 is in normal production, the shredded anode stubs or cold copper is loaded into the hopper 5. Then, the hopper 5 is lifted by a crane and transported to the tipping mechanism 4 of the charging trolley, connecting the trolley with the tipping mechanism 4. Subsequently, the trolley 3 is moved to a position below the furnace mouth 11 of the rotary anode furnace 1. Then, the tipping mechanism 4 is controlled to open, lifting the hopper 5. The raw materials in the hopper 5 slide along the hopper 5 into the rotary anode furnace 1. After that, the hopper 5 mechanism is controlled to close, and the hopper 5 is lowered back to its original position. Then, the trolley 3 can move the hopper 5 to other places along the track 2.
